Balefire: Poems

Crisis Chronicles Press is thrilled to announce the publication of Susan Sheppard's long-awaited Balefire, a winner of our most recent poetry chapbook competition. "From the first poem's first line, Evening is the monster we swim in, a compulsion gripped me to read straight through to the last line of the last poem. It's as if Sheppard is a dark angel who clasped my hand and floated me through haunting poems of 'chrome moon' and 'autumn's sorcery.' Balefire will chill you, thrill you, and fill holes you didn't know were there." -Dianne Borsenik, publisher at NightBallet Press. Balefire is 32 pages, hand crafted and saddle stabled with textured ivory card stock cover, black endpapers, and cottonwood fiber pages. Laser printed, 5.5 x 8.5", with cover art by Susan Sheppard.
